The Gallup polling organization just released a report showing public approval of Congress has fallen to 24%, those disapproving was 67%; no opinion 9%. (`No opinions’ obviously didn’t answer the phone.)

Consider one possible reason for the malaise:

The adolescent pique shown by Democratic members of both houses over the nomination of Judge Gorsuch has  certainly played a role in unmasking the true, childlike behavior of those to whom we entrust our children’s future: and their petulance is a colossal disgrace.  In particular, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi have revealed themselves to be the pond scum on the swamp Trump has vowed to drain.

However you might feel about Trump’s positions (I have reservations of my own), you have to admit he has nominated a near-perfect judge for the Supreme Court. Even the rancorous Democrats concede that Gorsuch is highly qualified.  Their veiled objections are baseless and the decision to withhold their vote is based on naked revenge, an action that flies in the face of the objectivity they have sworn to maintain when deliberating on the country’s future course.

They are a disgrace to the nation and an embarrassment to the ill-informed voters who blindly voted them into office.

My own CT senator, Richard Blumenthal, who received five draft deferments and then lied about having served in Vietnam, is one of Gorsuch’s most vocal opponents. Prevaricating senators who live in glass houses should recuse themselves on matters of grave importance.

You are welcome.

P.S.: Blumenthal is up for re-election this year.  We can only hope he’s ousted; but then again, this is CT.
